It’s our 40th birthday! On 31 July 1985, Scottish Refugee Council became a charity. Four decades on, we’re just as committed to making sure people seeking sanctuary in Scotland are welcomed and supported to rebuild their lives.

Goed zo. Zet druk op die natte vaatdoeken uit Den Haag.

Old guy standing looking at the camera, wearing a maroon t-shirt with the text AYE WELCOME REFUGEES on it. A black and white electric guitar (with a green and white sticker with text that reads PART OF THE BIGGER PICTURE) is hanging around his shoulders. In his right hand he is holding a green puzzle piece.

Over the moon to see the arrival of my lovely Aye Welcome Refugees t-shirt from @scotrefugeecouncil.bsky.social , good people doing good work for folks who need it. We're all in this together. ❤️ #refugeeswelcome #vluchtelingenwelkom #partofthebiggerpicture

Het probleem met liberalen is dat hun standpunten correct zijn wanneer de strijd al gestreden is. Het moment dat de strijd gevoerd moet worden, laten ze je vallen als een baksteen.

Het blokkeren van effectieve sancties door o.a. VVD, CU en NSC maakt ons medeplichtig aan genocide. Nederland ondermijnt de internationale rechtsorde.

De Partij voor de Dieren wil de zwaarst mogelijke sancties tegen Israël. Nú. 2/2

As a working class principle, I stand by this: be peaceful in so far as someone doesn't harm you.

But if they do & you have no option but to fight back, you better fight back harder & ensure whoever is at the receiving end knows NEVER to do it again.

No justice, no peace.

Kabinet komt met inreisverbod voor Israëlische ministers en ontbiedt ambassadeur De huidige situatie is onverdraaglijk en onverdedigbaar, schrijft demissionair minister Veldkamp (Buitenlandse Zaken) in een brief aan de Tweede Kamer.

Dit is het?
Kom maar door met die algemene staking want zo gaat het m niet worden. Stop met export wapens nu. Schrap alle handelsverdragen. Zet maximale druk.

The most banal comedian, who has sucked corporate and establishment dicjlk his whole life, waffles on about how everyone else should be as unfunny as he is to placate fascists and White supremacists.

Stop de hongersnood! Stop de genocide! Free Palestine!

You wouldn't believe the hotels they're puttin me in. I went to see the manager last night.
I says "I've come to see you about the roof."
He says "What about it?"
I says "I want one."
I says "I'll have pneumonia in the morning."
He said "You'll have corn flakes like everybody else."

Er móet n spoeddebat komen met Veldkamp over de voortdurende genocide/verhongering van Gaza door moordstaat 🇮🇱
BBB NSC PVV: tegen. VVD is stil.
Dat zou betekenen dat er geen debat, geen verantwoording komt.
En de medeplichtigheid van t kabinet en deze 4 partijen groeit. #dontstoptalkingaboutpalestine

Not exactly the first thing that springs to my mind when I think The Kinks. But I do remember when it came out and the buzz (such as it was) was that Ray & Co. had written a disco hit! Shock!
Horror!
😲😲😲

Liked it then. Like it now.

Hahaha! So so great to see you playing! ❤️

“The fear is they’re going to push through projects,” he said.

“After all, we’ve experienced over 150 years of the government being the people who benefit from all of the extraction of what they call our ‘resources’ and what we call our ‘responsibility’.”

Might as well end this thread right. A wonderful fan made compilation of ITR clips. So many great scenes, they probably could've put together a dozen more compilations as good as this.

The Matchmakers was indeed very fun. Thanks for the Miss Undercover Boss tip!

Abundance philosophy is insane because it's not about fairly sharing resources, it's magical thinking. It's a bit like how we're having a white male backlash because capitalist competition is never about making sure all boats rise, it's about boring holes in your competitors hull. Winner takes all.

Very well put Anna, particularly re: Wes Anderson. Though not a screwball really, it does remind a lot of my favourite Preston Sturges films as well as bits of the Coen Brothers work, as well! :-)

Our thoughts exactly. Though to be fair, the aforementioned Grand Lord was most likely distracted by thoughts racing through his mind of getting home and unpacking his recently purchased fashion accessory.

One element of the political policing intimidation attempt is over. We played a historic set at Glastonbury. Whole area closed an hour before due to crowds. A celebration of love and solidarity. A sea of good people at the world's most famous festival. Shortly afterwards we learn of an active police investigation. An investigation that followed after the Prime Minister himself said it "was not appropriate" we played Glastonbury. Walk off stage to the rapturous sounds of good people and into the creaking scheming sounds of the establishment.

This "investigation" was reported across the world's media often with wildly misleading headlines. Every single person who saw our set knew no law was broken, not even close....yet the police saw fit to publicly announce they were opening an investigation. Why open and publicise an investigation into fuck all? This is political. This is targetted. This is state intimidation.

After the media damage is inflicted and seen by millions of eyes - you receive a private email to say there's no evidence and no action - that is seen by two people only. There is no public apology, they don't send this to media or post it on police accounts. We will continue to fight. We will continue to win.

Email from Avon and Somerset Police to Kneecap legal team: "I am Senior Investigating Officer for Avon and Somerset Police's investigation into Kneecap's performance at the Glastonbury Festival on 28th June 2025. Following a review of the evidence, I have determined there will be no further action. I would be grateful if you could communicate this to your clients, and/or advise me of an alternative way if contacting them. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Regards, Detective Superintendent [Name redacted]"
